2013 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · AE13 LFB

The maintenance trend for this 2013 Toyota Aygo presents a stable but severely outdated picture. The most recent MOT test occurred on 10 May 2022 at 87,711 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. However, a failed test is also logged on the exact same date and mileage with no defects recorded, suggesting a data anomaly or an aborted initial test followed by an immediate retest. Regardless of that discrepancy, the vehicle currently sits outside its required testing cycle by over four years, rendering its present roadworthiness status entirely unknown. The mileage accumulation aligns with light urban use up until mid-2022. Between the August 2021 test at 84,481 miles and the May 2022 test at 87,711 miles, the car covered 3,230 miles over roughly eight and a half months, consistent with the typical annual average of 6,747 miles. Critically, the recorded mileage remains static at 87,711 miles today, exactly matching the May 2022 reading. This indicates the vehicle has either been standing stationary for four years or has been driven without submitting to a mandatory MOT, both of which carry significant mechanical implications. Given the four-year gap in testing and the likelihood of prolonged stationary periods, a buyer must thoroughly inspect components prone to seizing and perishing. Tyres will almost certainly suffer from flat-spotting and sidewall cracking from standing under load. Brake discs will likely exhibit heavy surface corrosion, and calipers may be binding or seized due to lack of use. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts degrade naturally with age, but a stationary vehicle accelerates rubber perishing. A comprehensive underbody inspection for structural corrosion is essential, as a car sitting for four years can trap moisture in box sections, compromising structural integrity far faster than a regularly driven example.
